I would suspect that one end of the fuse wasn't making a good connection to the holder. The added resistance at this point would create a hot point which would melt the case. Either there was some corrosion or it wasn't secured tightly.

The only other explanation is that the fuse was a higher rating than the holder, otherwise it would have blown and not overheated.

First off, your power wire most likley shorted out, somthing metal cut into the wire somewhere.

if you dont use a fuse, if the same thing happens again, the wire running from the front to the back of your car is going to go on fire, and light your carpet on fire, and blow your amp
